Top outings include a 27-catch performance and 647 passing yards.

The high school football season is just about wrapped up for 2021 with only Hawaii still to decide its champions this week and next.

But throughout the country there have been amazing games, performances and champions.

Today, we spotlight the top single-game accomplishments of the 2021 season, including a 27-catch outing, a 10-touchdown pass game and a high of 647 passing yards. In addition, our list includes an inspirational young man, Kayleb Wagner of Baker (Fla.), who broke Derrick Henry's single-game Florida rushing mark and became a viral sensation, even getting a chance to meet the Tennessee Titans' star despite being born without a left hand.

Below are the top performances for the 2021 season as reported to MaxPreps.
